129 My New Mama Journey

10/29/20 • 52 min

The PurposeGirl Podcast: Empowering women to live their purpose with courage, joy, and fierce self-love.

Can you believe it’s been already four months since I became a mom!? Shay coming into my life was a dream come true, but it certainly has not been easy. Motherhood has been beautiful, wonderful, pleasurable, and fun. But motherhood has also been frustrating, depressing, so challenging, and uncertain. And since becoming a mom and experiencing all of this firsthand, I’ve realized something so important: there is a myth that circles the parenthood community of what makes a good mama. This myth is causing us so much emotional damage; we’re talking about it today.

Along the way I dive into...

The myths of what it means to be a good mom and how not being able to do certain things can make us feel like we’re failing.
The expectation on moms to be able to do everything alone and look good doing it.
The fact that making time for self-care during maternity doesn’t make you a bad mother.
How joining a mom’s community can be extremely helpful when it comes to receiving support.

128 Desire on Fire

What are you biggest, juiciest intimate desires? If you don’t know, you’re not alone. As women, we’re taught from a young age to prioritize the needs of others at the expense of their own. We are taught that our pleasures and desires aren’t nearly as important as those of the other people in our lives – especially the men. It’s time for women to take back their pleasure, and insert it into everything they do.

In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I interview my soul sister and Burning Man roomie, the Pleasure and Intimacy guru, Aimee Batuski - and we have such a fun, delicious conversation about how women can have turned-on, connected, satisfying lives. As the co-founder of Desire on Fire and the host of The Pleasure Revolution Podcast, Aimee shares how we can tap into our deepest and most intimate desires so that we can transform our current reality into a pleasurable and “juicy” way of living – because we deserve it!

In this episode, Aimee and I discuss:

How to connect with your body and to what really turns you on
What to do with jealousy and complaints
A simple question to bring aliveness into your life
Why Sisterhood matters
The Desire Cycle – what the cycle is an how to implement it to get what you want in life
The power of vulnerability

130 How to Make Any Job Your Dream Job

How do you feel about your job? Love it? Hate it? Wish it were different?

So often, women come to me wanting a NEW job. A true and aligned purpose – and I love supporting that.

AND, sometimes, we can make your current job your DREAM job.

Is your job aligned with your inner values and connected with your personal strengths?

Does it allow you to pursue your purpose? If you answered to ‘no’ any of these questions, I wouldn’t be surprised. That is where I used to be in my job and now that I know what the opposite feels like (I LOVE being PurposeGirl!) I know I can never go back! Research has proven that 60 to 70% of people don’t feel engaged to their jobs and working environment – and this number is likely higher this year because of COVID-19.

But hold on! Before you decide to quit, give yourself a moment to breathe, to take some time off, and ask yourself some meaningful questions that will allow you to really uncover what actually turn you on at work. Sometimes, it is not about changing the work you do, but switching your own perspective about it. This episode is all about loving the job YOU ALREADY HAVE.

In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I’m fortunate to be joined by Carson Tate, founder and managing partner of Working Simply, Inc., a business consulting firm that partners with organizations, business leaders and employees to enhance workplace productivity, foster employee engagement, and build personal and professional legacies. Carson shares with us her 5 pillars to “Job Crafting,” and explains in detail how reframing your point of view – if you are a positive psychology gal like me, you’ll know this also as mindset! - can have a major positive effect on your own job satisfaction and the satisfaction of your coworkers and your bosses. In her very own words: “Any job can be your dream job, because you define the dream.”

In this episode, Carson and I dig in on:

How to do “Job Crafting” – making any job one you love
Carson’s 5 pillars to job crafting
How to ASK for anything you want from your boss, partner, or anyone!
How important recognition is, and how to get more of it (‘cause you deserve it, love!).
How to distinguish the tasks we like to from those we don’t – clarity creates opportunity!
How to make your job more meaningful
How we’re all threatened by things like autonomy and fairness and and how to use it to your advantage.
